One of the rifles on my bucket list, that I’ve yet to cross off, is an Oberndorf Type M with inside guard bow release in 9x57. I’ve wanted one for about 25 years now. In the mid 90’s I ran across a MS carbine in 9x56MS in a gun shop. Those are sweet too, but I prefer Oberndorf’s. I'm now leaning toward a reproduction in 9.3x62 now, but if I ever find an affordable inside bow release Type M 9x57, I would find a way! Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

I am very happy with the deal! I think I will be even happier when I have it in hand. What force or guile could not subdue, Thro' many warlike ages, Is wrought now by a coward few, For hireling traitor's wages. | |||

I will probably use Kynoch ammo this fall, will at least take it out for elk on opening weekend. I will definitely check out the Hawk bullets when I start reloading it. I sure hope to have it star in some dead critter pictures! What force or guile could not subdue, Thro' many warlike ages, Is wrought now by a coward few, For hireling traitor's wages. | |||

Just an FYI: the first box of older (probably '50s vintage) KYNOCH ammunition that I ran through my 9x57 worked perfectly, but a round from the 2nd box suffered a longitudinal body split just above the solid head. The result was a face full of gas and some pits in my glasses. I won't shoot such ammo now, but if you wish to, make sure that you have your glasses on! Cheers, Al | |||

Jeez, I wonder how that would have worked out if it was an 03 Springfield....... Gotta love the 98, and yeah, always wear glasses | |||

Its a good idea IMO to be sure these rifles are mod. 98s and not 96s, as both were easily available sometime ago...Also I got a few in 9.3x62, loved those babies..Ihad a bunch of factory brass and some bullets for your rifle at one time, but think I sold that stuff, I'll look and see..

Finally got my hands on this rifle and I’m very happy with it. Bore is a little rough but should clean up fine. What force or guile could not subdue, Thro' many warlike ages, Is wrought now by a coward few, For hireling traitor's wages. | |||

My father shot several tigers, leopard, bison etc with a 9x57. His was a Type S Oberndorf carbine. After he passed away. We sold it as ammo also was not available in India for it in those days. Wish we had kept it as it was his favorite rifle. | |||
